Each plugin is a commonjs module that implements the search, playback and import logic, while pagination and caching are handled by MusicFree itself — so any internet source works as long as a plugin exists for it.

Use it with that in mind.

The MusicFree listings on Xiaomi, Huawei and vivo app stores are unrelated adware that just copied the name and logo.

Link song A's lyrics to song B and both songs will display B's lyrics; chains like A -> B -> C work too, with all three showing C's lyrics.
